CITED in notes.

port. because no rule could be fixed that would
meet all cases, no one knowing, when note was

note that 1t would be paid and not sued on, and
so did not notice the amount of fees Under
this law the highest rate would always be put in
Messrs Buckles, Patton and Ibach denounced
the whole method of extortlng fees in this man

be valid.
